the ride to the end. 1. The main energy transfers are between gravitational potential energy (GPE) and kinetic energy (KE)‚ and the eventual decrease of mechanical energy as it transforms into thermal energy. Roller coasters often start as a chain and motor exercises a force on the car to lift it up to the top of a very tall hill. At this height‚ GPE is at its highest‚ as we can see through the formula: GPE = mass x gravitational field strength x height (for all physics in relation to Earth‚ take

The First Lunar Landing The first lunar landing ever to happen in the history of mankind may be one of the most inspiring events of all time. America and its people went through tremendous amounts of stress dealing with the rivalry between Americans and the Soviet Union on who would be the first to put a man on the moon. The men and women that contributed to making this idea‚ or even a fantasy come to life will be remembered for hundreds‚ or even thousands of years. On July 20th‚ 1969‚ the

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this activity is to motivate the concept of power‚ or rate at which energy is transformed‚ and to apply it to the rate at which students do work to increase their gravitational potential energy in climbing a flight of stairs. IDEA: Students are asked to measure their gain in gravitational potential energy as they climb a flight of stairs‚ then to calculate the rate at which this potential energy is gained. This is followed by asking students to calculate their body’s energy

AIM: Finding the gravitational field strength by using a simple harmonic motion of a spring and slotted masses. INTRODUCTION: When a mass suspended from a spring is displaced‚ due to the acceleration‚ kg s-2‚ from its equilibrium and released it will oscillate up and down with a kind of motion called simple harmonic motion‚ shm. The period (T)‚ time taken to measure for one complete oscillation‚ of this motion is: m/kg =

Philip Pachade AP Physics B Energy Conservation Lab 3/8/2014 Preamble After recently finishing up a take home test on the topics of energy conservation we were given an energy conservation lab for a deeper and more intricate analysis of the law of the conservation of energy. As previously mentioned by many physicists the law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed‚ but

Name : Ricahuerta ‚ Kimberlee kate Tides - are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the combined effects of the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and the Sun and the rotation of the Earth. Most places in the ocean usually experience two high tides and two low tides each day (semidiurnal tide)‚ but some locations experience only one high and one low tide each day (diurnal tide) Two types of tides Spring Tides By definition‚ spring tides are the horizontal flow of water toward

for mortals. A standard example that substantiates the assertion that “there is no hope of doing perfect research” is a high school research I once did on the mechanical explanation of gravitation. These explanations attempted to illustrate gravitational action by means of simple mechanical processes‚ like pressure forces resulting from pushes‚ in the absence of any action at a
